Also, i should be studying for history test that is held tomorrow instead of writing this.

In many cultures, there are tests one must pass to become adult. All though these tests are much less common in modern society, we have modernized editions.

In norway, where i live, you are supposed to go to a course where you learn about ethics n’ stuf in year 9 of school, and then have a big “Yay im a adult” party where you celebrate what would be entering adulthood a few hundred years back.

Sadly, this is happening next weekend, so i can’t join ludum dare :(. I will be buisy saturday with ceremonies n’ stuf, and the party. Friday is welcoming english family arriving to celebrate some tradition they dont have in their country(How nice of them to fly over to norway for a tradition they aren’t a part of). And sunday i have time off.

So yeah, i cant join

(Mabe i shall stay up late saturday and do some coding? Dunno. Lets see if some random person on irc cheers me up this time too)

Half way through the compo, i nearly gave up, but “Manuel777″ on IRC made me continue. I had to write a new game in Java, because making a OpenGL GLSL game in C# was a bit more then what i could bite off. This is 1 day of work, minus 2 hours of World of warcraft, because i was depressed over the time, and also, i was travveling, so i lost a lot of time. Atleast the game is playable 😀

Next time, in august, i am going to make sure i am at home the whole weekend.

The game now has a font engine, physics engine, render engine, and entity engine. All i need is CONTENT. Since i am working with another person, this is the workflow:

Day 1(done): Code framework

Day 2: Add content

Day 3: Polish and music

Here is a screenshot!

Note: Yeah, this does look like metagun. We havent agreed on art, so i just made art. And because it was a platformer i had metagun in my head. The game is different, and i have source code to prove it.

The game is a platformer based around the idea that you are a guy rented in by a science facility after they… Well, lets say the geiger counter is over 9000. You wear a radioactive suit, and have to go through levels of mutated creatures(Cellusious on the IRC said mutation was evolution). At the end of the game, you reach a button for activating neurotoxin(To kill of the mutants), guarded by a dangerus mutant. You and your trusty Evolutiotron must defeat him and activate the neurotoxin.

The gun you use is called the evolutiotron. Each time you kill someone, you get XP. You can use that XP to evolve your gun.

In the game idea, you are a person living on a very small planet. In fact, it is so small, it is not more then 2x the size of the screen. And it is recurring. If you go out of the virtual map on one side, it looks like you are just walking around the planet. To make the planet feel more tiny, there are going to be quests you have to complete. When ALL of the quests are done, you wil gain access to a dungeon where you fight against a boss and win the game.

I just finished my game! It is written in java, and i must say, i am quite happy with it.(I am 13 and i have use java for about a year now).
It has particles, sound, multiple levels(and it is easy to mod in more!*hint**hint*)
Screenshots:

I have allready had one problem, but here comes another one! I want a image to rotate 20 pixels from a center coordinate, based on degrees in the rotation. This so i can make a muzzleflash. How do i do that? I am only 13 yrs old, so school hasn’t covered this stuff yet
